Hello,
Trying to convert the query below to a view. The problem is
despite it working as a query when trying to save it as a
view the database returns the error that the field tablealias.cmpname
is duplicated. (Which it is and has to be)
So how to a refer to the same table more than once and
get the data without getting the above error. (Basically it
is looking up different addresses depending on the codes
stored in mhdespatch table). Can I do this with a view, or
do I have to create several views and link them together.
Thanks
Richard
